This course surveys a wide range of effects possible through versatile printmaking methods including monotype, relief printing and drypoint.
The aim of this course is on broadening the student’s range of markmaking skills and experimenting with new visual effects with which to create engaging images. This fast-paced course gives students exposure to low tech printmaking. Rather than emphasizing disciplined editioning, assignments will utilize printmaking processes for producing multiples that explore variations in color, compositional emphasis, and tonal adjustment. We are looking for exciting, image-making means that communicate outside of what the hand can directly draw.
